Hi Ken,

Thank you for writing back.

To clarify, the WPF RichTextBox control and the Telerik Document Processing libraries are separate products designed for different purposes.

The WPF RichTextBox control is tightly connected to the WPF UI framework and can use UI-specific functionality such as section columns. The Telerik Document Processing libraries, including RadWordsProcessing, are built differently. They are designed as UI-independent, cross-platform libraries focused on document generation and processing without dependencies on specific UI technologies. Because of this architectural difference, some functionality available in UI controls is not currently supported in RadWordsProcessing.

I realize this does not remove the limitation or lessen the impact on your workflow. I can also see how frustrating and disappointing this has been, especially after the time spent trying to find a suitable solution. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this situation has caused.

As mentioned earlier, I have already shared your feedback and concerns internally with the Document Processing team for further review. At this time, I’m unable to provide an ETA, however I can assure you that this task is currently on our radar.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about your disappointment and apologize for any inconvenience this missing functionality may be causing you.
As a company, we are continuously working to improve our products while maintaining high standards. Customer satisfaction is a top priority for us, and we truly value the time and effort you put into sharing your feedback and perspectives with us.

We understand the impact this limitation may have. While we strive to address all customer needs as quickly as possible, some items take longer than others. This is due to our prioritization process in the Feedback Portal, where factors such as demand, complexity, and available resources are carefully considered.

At the moment, this item is not on our roadmap. However, I have forwarded this task to the Document Processing team for reevaluation and consideration. That said, I’m not in a position to provide timelines or guarantees, and I want to avoid giving you any misleading expectations. Once there is any progress or resolution, the public feedback page will be updated accordingly. If you haven’t already, I recommend subscribing to it so you can stay informed.

Thank you again for your understanding and for sharing your feedback with us.

Hi Sylvain,

I am afraid this is still not scheduled for implementation. The items for the next release are still not planned and I cannot say if this item will be included.

Hi Pedro,

The functionality is on our radar but is still not scheduled for implementation in the upcoming release. That is why I cannot currently share any updates on this task.

Hello Uwe,

I agree this is an important feature and its implementation is on the list. The reason it's not scheduled for implementation is because the development team is working on more demanding tasks. Make sure to vote for its implementation and subscribe for status changes if you would like to have notifications about status changes. 

Thank you for understanding.
